Unlike Kojima, I think Miyamoto is one of the most awesomest people ever but if he came out and said something stupid like that I'd be pretty upset at him and lose a lot of respect for him. I mean really, what do you think a statement like that does for the morale of any team he's on? Or any team he had been on? If you did anything creative on any of those projects it's suddenly all him and you might as well have been a mindless drone doing his bidding. He very well may have had the high concept for the Metal Gear series and had A LOT of creative control over everything, but I would be willing to bet that most ideas didn't come from him and saying so shows how much respect he has towards other people. What an inconsiderate arrogant douche. |
It not like Kojima is doing all the work. I am sure he has final say about story and gameplay elements but other people also helped creating the series into what it is today. It is the same thing with the Final Fantasy series. FFXIII for example, was led by Motoru Toriyama with a lot of help from Kitase, Nojima(I think?), and Nomura.
